We believe that that's what we're going to see. And we believe the next stop after Vienna is going to be New York.

We don't want it to get to that point. We want Venezuela to fulfill its obligations under the Vienna Convention to help provide protection for our diplomats there.

We encourage them to take steps. To stop terror attacks, to prevent them from happening. And we urge them also to act to dismantle terrorist organizations.

I believe our embassy has been in touch with Russian authorities. At the assistant secretary level here, we have been working the issue as well.

We would like to see this resolved as quickly and as peacefully as possible.

We have welcomed recent steps by President Abbas to implement a strategy that outlaws the public display of arms ... end violence and dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism.
